Lelit Bianca PL162T
Lelit's flagship dual-boiler machine, with separate stainless steam and coffee boilers and an E61-style L58E group fitted with a paddle that lets the user vary water flow during the shot. It can run from its movable tank or be plumbed in with a drain, and an OLED controller sets temperatures, pre-infusion and timing.
